YOUR GUIDE TO A SOLO VACATION IN CUBA - From arrival to departure!
Cuba is one of the Spanish speaking Caribbean Islands, its capital is Havana. I have been to many of the other Caribbean islands, but this was my first time in Cuba. Reasons being, 1.

Recently on my way back from Moscow airport, connecting in Frankfurt airport, Germany, I had the most displeasing encounter with a female T.S.A officer at Frankfurt airport. In all my years of travel I have never had such inappropriate “pat down” in any other of the 60+ airports and destinationsI have traversed.
Firstly, I must tell you that Frankfurt airport is an aesthetically nice airport but disgustingly huge. You better be armed with flip flops or a comfy pair of shoes to get from one gate to the next. If you are on a connecting flight and has less than 1 hour to do so, then it is real possibility you may miss your flight.
